They also call on God by Allah You

00:03:15 --> 00:03:16

know that now if you didn't know I

00:03:16 --> 00:03:16

knew it.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

Yeah, and did you know it's a it's

00:03:19 --> 00:03:22

a article of faith There's six articles of

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

faith in Islam.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:26

One is the pure absolute monotheism that God

00:03:26 --> 00:03:29

is one and alone where the exact and

00:03:29 --> 00:03:32

Second is the belief in them in the

00:03:32 --> 00:03:36

angels believe in the books that were revealed

00:03:37 --> 00:03:40

believe in the messengers and the belief in

00:03:40 --> 00:03:43

met the messengers Believing that Moses was a

00:03:43 --> 00:03:47

messenger Abraham was a messenger Jesus the Christ

00:03:47 --> 00:03:51

Meaning the Messiah He was a messenger of

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

God The same way all the other messengers

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

who were sent in the prophets to call

00:03:55 --> 00:03:57

humanity to worship one and only one God

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

And that's what Islam means if you look

00:03:59 --> 00:04:02

at the Lord's Prayer or our Father who

00:04:02 --> 00:04:03

art in heaven Hallowed be thy name thy

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

kingdom come thy will be done.

00:04:05 --> 00:04:08

Thy will is Islam This is what Islam

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

literally means to submit your will That's how

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

you get peace in life by submitting your

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

will to the will of the creator of

00:04:14 --> 00:04:14

the heavens and earth.

00:04:14 --> 00:04:17

That's Islam Yeah, we agree upon all of

00:04:17 --> 00:04:18

that now what we do now.

00:04:18 --> 00:04:19

Look there's an elephant in the room I

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

have a lot of Christian friends and okay

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

We say let's get the elephant out of

00:04:23 --> 00:04:24

the room because there's so much we can

00:04:24 --> 00:04:27

talk about look like the family values You

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

see the the the man now they want

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

to turn into a woman the woman into

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33

a man Madness today, right?

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35

Yeah, these moral values.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

We have a lot that we the the

00:04:37 --> 00:04:40

sexualization of the kids in the schools Obviously

00:04:40 --> 00:04:41

Christians don't agree with that.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

No, we're on the same page, right?

00:04:43 --> 00:04:48

So a lot of these things abortion Same,

00:04:48 --> 00:04:48

right.

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

Yeah, what else you have some other things?

00:04:51 --> 00:04:55

Oh, well the need to spread The message

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

of God.

00:04:56 --> 00:05:00

Yes, and that's something that Muslims agree upon

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

Christians agree upon the fact that we say

00:05:03 --> 00:05:05

that God is one God, right?

00:05:06 --> 00:05:09

in that in that Understanding and and that's

00:05:09 --> 00:05:12

something also that Christians believe in that we

00:05:12 --> 00:05:15

should pray without ceasing And we pray to

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

God all of us agree on that.

00:05:17 --> 00:05:20

We are we're praying to one God.

00:05:20 --> 00:05:23

We agree to that portion Yes Here's the

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

elephant in the room or the parting of

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

the ways or the different and look this

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

is not something that should drive Christians and

00:05:30 --> 00:05:32

Muslims for their part Not to work on

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

a common good on other things because being

00:05:34 --> 00:05:36

you got people in the same house or

00:05:36 --> 00:05:39

a Democrat Republican Different sides of the spectrum

00:05:39 --> 00:05:40

on so many other things seeing though, but

00:05:40 --> 00:05:41

their family.

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43

We're a family in humanity I have the

00:05:43 --> 00:05:46

same father Adam So now that's our lineage

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

and we can work together to make the

00:05:48 --> 00:05:50

world a better place because Christians are not

00:05:50 --> 00:05:53

going anywhere Muslims are not going anywhere.

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

All right, Jews are not going anywhere.

00:05:55 --> 00:05:58

Look we're here to stay so we might

00:05:58 --> 00:06:02

as well learn About each other and learn

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

to go ahead and agree to disagree on

00:06:04 --> 00:06:06

some things but in a peaceful way I

00:06:06 --> 00:06:08

think that's it to peacefully coexist and you

00:06:08 --> 00:06:12

said you said something which I agree upon

00:06:12 --> 00:06:16

which is Learning how to understand our differences

00:06:16 --> 00:06:19

for one if we're warring with each other.

00:06:19 --> 00:06:23

There's no way in the world We reflect

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25

the one God It's no way in the

00:06:25 --> 00:06:28

world if me and you are fighting and

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

at war and at odds with each other

00:06:30 --> 00:06:32

There's no way for one.

00:06:32 --> 00:06:36

We know that God is The word says

00:06:36 --> 00:06:36

love.

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

That's that's key.

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41

So understanding that like you said, there's a

00:06:41 --> 00:06:45

need for us Collectively to make a difference

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48

in this world for all humanity and if

00:06:48 --> 00:06:52

we don't start coming together To do that

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54

Then come on.

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

That's that's another thing right there where you

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

have how many people out there who are

00:06:58 --> 00:06:59

homeless?

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

How many people do you have out there

00:07:01 --> 00:07:04

who are on alcohol on drugs?

00:07:04 --> 00:07:07

I mean People who are in the society

00:07:07 --> 00:07:08

that need help, right?

00:07:09 --> 00:07:10

So we can come together to help these

00:07:10 --> 00:07:13

people right to eradicate many of the social

00:07:13 --> 00:07:16

ills that are destroying society That's another that's

00:07:16 --> 00:07:19

another point but understanding at the same time

00:07:19 --> 00:07:20

that we don't have to come together And

00:07:20 --> 00:07:21

sing kuba.

00:07:21 --> 00:07:23

Yeah, right that we have there is there

00:07:23 --> 00:07:25

is a major differences But at the same

00:07:25 --> 00:07:28

time don't differences are not to the point

00:07:28 --> 00:07:29

that should cause such a division because I

00:07:29 --> 00:07:31

asked my Christian friends I never say do

00:07:31 --> 00:07:33

you get offended when I say Jesus and

00:07:33 --> 00:07:35

I say after his name peace be upon

00:07:35 --> 00:07:35

him.

00:07:35 --> 00:07:36

Does that offend you?

00:07:42 --> 00:07:45

So personally, no, it's not an offense I

00:07:45 --> 00:07:52

don't think By and I understand that you're

00:07:52 --> 00:07:56

not being offensive offensive anyway, I understand that

00:07:56 --> 00:08:01

Muslims only see Jesus as a prophet similar

00:08:01 --> 00:08:03

to Moses and all of that now we

00:08:03 --> 00:08:06

agree on we would we agree on That

00:08:06 --> 00:08:08

the Bible declares that he is it's in

00:08:08 --> 00:08:11

the Bible bingo that he is Is is

00:08:11 --> 00:08:14

a prophet but also the difference between Christians

00:08:14 --> 00:08:16

is we believe him to be a king

00:08:16 --> 00:08:19

and a priest And that's the only difference.

00:08:19 --> 00:08:21

Okay, so Yeah, if we say, okay, he

00:08:21 --> 00:08:25

was a king To rule over his people

00:08:25 --> 00:08:28

and a priest as a leader a religious

00:08:28 --> 00:08:29

figure, right?

00:08:29 --> 00:08:32

Well, no as we believe as Christians.

00:08:32 --> 00:08:36

He was indeed God and the same as

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

the three and trail that that would mean

00:08:38 --> 00:08:41

so that's what we would say like unpackage

00:08:41 --> 00:08:42

that What do you know like he was

00:08:42 --> 00:08:43

God?

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46

part of a Trinity Explain that exactly.

00:08:47 --> 00:08:50

So basically it's like this So Jesus was

00:08:50 --> 00:08:52

in the beginning and this is what we

00:08:52 --> 00:08:55

we as Christians believe We believe that Jesus

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

was in the beginning him God and the

00:08:57 --> 00:09:01

Holy Spirit was all together as one He

00:09:01 --> 00:09:04

said let us make man in our image

00:09:04 --> 00:09:07

So we believe that right and as we

00:09:07 --> 00:09:11

believe that we believe that Jesus Came and

00:09:11 --> 00:09:15

died for the sins of all humanity and

00:09:15 --> 00:09:18

this is the good part Which is the

00:09:18 --> 00:09:19

good news to me.

00:09:19 --> 00:09:22

Is that while we were yet?

00:09:22 --> 00:09:26

non-believers when we were yet sinners and

00:09:27 --> 00:09:30

Against God right when we had already made

00:09:30 --> 00:09:33

our own demands and we weren't gonna Jesus

00:09:33 --> 00:09:37

still Showed his love and the death for

00:09:37 --> 00:09:37

us.

00:09:37 --> 00:09:38

Let me ask you this.

00:09:38 --> 00:09:38

Mm-hmm.

00:09:38 --> 00:09:40

We were all taught certain things, right?

00:09:40 --> 00:09:42

Yeah, we can be programmed a certain way

00:09:42 --> 00:09:45

conditioned But not everything that we're programmed or

00:09:45 --> 00:09:46

taught is always right, right because the US

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

Constitution at what at one point.

00:09:48 --> 00:09:52

Mm-hmm It equated the African Americans black

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

people as what two-thirds of a white

00:09:54 --> 00:09:54

man.

00:09:54 --> 00:09:55

You remember that?

00:09:55 --> 00:09:58

Yeah, so people were conditions people were conditioned

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59

to believe this.

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01

Yeah, but now we come to know this

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03

is false This is of the devil right

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05

and there's a beautiful statement from the last

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07

and final message sent to mankind problem Muhammad

00:10:07 --> 00:10:09

who said there's no Difference between the white

00:10:09 --> 00:10:12

and the black between the black the Arab

00:10:12 --> 00:10:13

and the non-arab.

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15

Mm-hmm We are all now descendants now

00:10:15 --> 00:10:18

from Adam and now the and the Quran

00:10:18 --> 00:10:22

talks about that Paraphrasing that the best among

00:10:22 --> 00:10:24

you I made you into nations and tribes

00:10:24 --> 00:10:26

that you know each other You don't hate

00:10:26 --> 00:10:28

each other And the best among you are

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30

those who have the best the most tough

00:10:30 --> 00:10:31

one the ones who are the most God

00:10:31 --> 00:10:34

conscious pious Morally upright.

00:10:34 --> 00:10:36

Yeah, so this is what differentiates us not

00:10:36 --> 00:10:37

the color of your skin my skin But

00:10:37 --> 00:10:40

my point there was you see how certain

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42

people were conditions a certain way is that

00:10:42 --> 00:10:44

you had the Muslims who were?

00:10:44 --> 00:10:47

30 to 40 percent from the Atlantic traits

00:10:47 --> 00:10:49

slaves All right.

00:10:49 --> 00:10:51

Yeah, you had certain people conditioned thinking they're

00:10:51 --> 00:10:54

gonna go and civilize these people and the

00:10:54 --> 00:10:59

black African Americans and then Torture them kidnap

00:10:59 --> 00:11:01

them and then bring them over here.

00:11:01 --> 00:11:03

You follow me and do the most evil

00:11:03 --> 00:11:03

things.

00:11:03 --> 00:11:04

Yeah, you get it Yeah, this is something

00:11:04 --> 00:11:07

despicable, but you that's the conditioning that's and

00:11:07 --> 00:11:09

they were using the Bible Yeah, we're using

00:11:09 --> 00:11:11

the Bible was supposed to be the Word

00:11:11 --> 00:11:13

of God to justify that Yeah, you get

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15

it kind of like any religion even in

00:11:15 --> 00:11:17

if we pull out even in the Muslims

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20

There are people that are in the Muslim

00:11:20 --> 00:11:20

religion.

00:11:21 --> 00:11:23

Yes, who take the Candy yes.

00:11:23 --> 00:11:26

Yeah, they take it out of context and

00:11:26 --> 00:11:29

then they Just even like the Jews there

00:11:29 --> 00:11:32

are scribes what it calls crowds and Pharisees

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

Jesus said accept our righteousness exceed that of

00:11:34 --> 00:11:38

the scribes and Pharisees We will not likewise

00:11:38 --> 00:11:42

make it because because man has a condition

00:11:42 --> 00:11:44

Yeah, which is and I'm gonna let you

00:11:44 --> 00:11:47

talk brother, but man has a condition which

00:11:47 --> 00:11:51

is a sin nature and without God Ruling

00:11:51 --> 00:11:53

and abiding upon the throne room of our

00:11:53 --> 00:11:54

heart.

00:11:54 --> 00:11:58

We are all subject to fall and fail

00:11:58 --> 00:12:01

Every single time like he said the slave

00:12:01 --> 00:12:08

trade was simply about grief But even if

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10

we go even further back and then I'm

00:12:10 --> 00:12:13

gonna get off my Soapbox if we go

00:12:13 --> 00:12:16

even further back These were conditions even in

00:12:16 --> 00:12:20

the times of Jesus slavery You know all

00:12:20 --> 00:12:24

type of situations in the Roman Empire Homosexuality

00:12:24 --> 00:12:25

nothing new under the Sun.

00:12:25 --> 00:12:27

We know this stuff It's just gotten rampant

00:12:27 --> 00:12:30

up and it's getting worse and worse and

00:12:30 --> 00:12:32

all the countries of the world one thing

00:12:32 --> 00:12:38

we better realize is that God is Real

00:12:38 --> 00:12:42

absolutely, yes and Going back to what I

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44

would the point I wanted to make is

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

that we're conditioned We're programmed to believe certain

00:12:46 --> 00:12:47

things, right?

00:12:47 --> 00:12:51

But now our nature and the fitra what

00:12:51 --> 00:12:53

we call it This is the innate nature

00:12:53 --> 00:12:55

that if you were to leave a child

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57

and he and he grew up and now

00:12:57 --> 00:13:01

you were to explain to him the Attributes

00:13:01 --> 00:13:03

of the all-loving the most kind one

00:13:03 --> 00:13:06

God They would easily be able to understand

00:13:06 --> 00:13:09

this right and that was the consistent message

00:13:09 --> 00:13:12

from Adam the first man to Abraham and

00:13:12 --> 00:13:16

then a no Moses and David and Ishmael

00:13:16 --> 00:13:19

Isaac you can see this Continuous chain of

00:13:19 --> 00:13:22

prophets and messenger God Almighty is sending to

00:13:22 --> 00:13:24

call people to worship the Creator and not

00:13:24 --> 00:13:27

the creation You will see this continuous in

00:13:27 --> 00:13:30

chronological order not with different man-made religions

00:13:30 --> 00:13:33

Not with one messenger saying worship me the

00:13:33 --> 00:13:35

other one saying worship the Sun the other

00:13:35 --> 00:13:38

one saying worship a stick a stone Anything

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

in Christian, but worship the one God that's

00:13:40 --> 00:13:44

that that that pure absolute Monotheism now human

00:13:44 --> 00:13:46

beings they go off they drift off and

00:13:46 --> 00:13:48

they start to worship creation They start to

00:13:48 --> 00:13:51

worship idols and icons saints and people in

00:13:51 --> 00:13:52

the ground and all sorts of things And

00:13:52 --> 00:13:54

this is now I understand this is no

00:13:54 --> 00:13:56

way to offend you or any Christian But

00:13:56 --> 00:13:59

we see the same thing happening here is

00:13:59 --> 00:14:01

where now Jesus if you read the clear

00:14:01 --> 00:14:04

Explicit verses in the Bible because we believe

00:14:04 --> 00:14:06

and this is according to like Bible scholars

00:14:06 --> 00:14:09

like Bruce Mesker you have others textual critics

00:14:09 --> 00:14:11

who will tell us that we don't have

00:14:11 --> 00:14:13

a copy of a copy of a copy

00:14:13 --> 00:14:15

of any original Bible people Of course call

00:14:15 --> 00:14:18

the gospel books Matthew Mark Luke and John

00:14:18 --> 00:14:20

Well, they call the Matthew Mark Luke and

00:14:20 --> 00:14:21

John because we don't know who wrote these

00:14:21 --> 00:14:23

books and there's no point calling them Sam

00:14:23 --> 00:14:24

Fred Jerry and Harry.

00:14:24 --> 00:14:26

I mean they're they're written by people.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:27

We don't know who they were written by

00:14:27 --> 00:14:30

They are anonymous You might not think so

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32

because they have the title the gospel according

00:14:32 --> 00:14:34

to Matthew whoever put that title on it

00:14:34 --> 00:14:37

was an editor Later the followers of Jesus

00:14:37 --> 00:14:42

were Aramaic speaking peasants from Galilee lower class

00:14:42 --> 00:14:47

men who were not Educated in fact Peter

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

and John in Acts chapter 4 verse 13

00:14:49 --> 00:14:52

are literally said to be illiterate They couldn't

00:14:52 --> 00:14:53

read and write.

00:14:53 --> 00:14:53

Of course not.

00:14:53 --> 00:14:54

They were fishermen.

00:14:54 --> 00:14:56

They didn't go to school the vast majority

00:14:56 --> 00:14:58

of people in the ancient world Never learned

00:14:58 --> 00:15:01

to read let alone write and their native

00:15:01 --> 00:15:04

language was Aramaic These books are written in

00:15:04 --> 00:15:10

Greek by highly educated rhetorically trained Writers who

00:15:10 --> 00:15:13

are skilled in Greek composition, but what we

00:15:13 --> 00:15:15

do have of explicit verses we have Jesus

00:15:15 --> 00:15:21

saying that Differentiating himself as being subservient to

00:15:21 --> 00:15:24

God not part of God one with God

00:15:24 --> 00:15:26

a Trinity So now if you talk to

00:15:26 --> 00:15:27

a child and you try to explain Trinity

00:15:27 --> 00:15:29

if you try to explain that God is

00:15:29 --> 00:15:30

the father God is the son.

00:15:30 --> 00:15:32

God is the Holy Ghost, but not three

00:15:32 --> 00:15:34

but one now you lose the child As

00:15:34 --> 00:15:37

Jesus grew up he learned more and more

00:15:37 --> 00:15:42

about God Jesus is God.

00:15:42 --> 00:15:44

How can you learn more and more about

00:15:44 --> 00:15:44

himself?

00:15:45 --> 00:15:50

Because Jesus is God It's a great question

00:15:59 --> 00:16:01

Well because when Jesus came down to earth

00:16:04 --> 00:16:06

He grew up as a regular human being

00:16:06 --> 00:16:10

too So he would read the the Bible

00:16:16 --> 00:16:19

You also and most people you lost in

00:16:19 --> 00:16:21

the mental gymnastic maze and you cannot get

00:16:21 --> 00:16:23

out but now God is saying look just

00:16:23 --> 00:16:25

one Yeah, so what we go by is

00:16:25 --> 00:16:29

again the New Testament with Jesus declared himself

00:16:29 --> 00:16:32

He says when you've seen the son, you've

00:16:32 --> 00:16:35

also seen the father Brought out.

00:16:35 --> 00:16:38

He said have I been this long with

00:16:38 --> 00:16:40

you and you still not know then he

00:16:40 --> 00:16:43

told Peter He says after Peter said, you

00:16:43 --> 00:16:47

know, you are the son of the Living

00:16:47 --> 00:16:49

God And he told him he says upon

00:16:49 --> 00:16:52

this rock I shall build my church and

00:16:52 --> 00:16:55

the gates of * shall not prevail against

00:16:55 --> 00:16:58

it So there are several times throughout the

00:16:58 --> 00:17:01

New Testament and in the life and teachings

00:17:01 --> 00:17:04

of Jesus Christ where he declared himself as

00:17:04 --> 00:17:06

a son of God and then even when

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

other people when he stood before the court

00:17:08 --> 00:17:11

and they they said Who you say I

00:17:11 --> 00:17:13

am and he told him he said yeah,

00:17:14 --> 00:17:17

God says He I don't know you say

00:17:17 --> 00:17:17

it correctly.

00:17:17 --> 00:17:20

And so that's the difference in the belief

00:17:20 --> 00:17:22

I'm gonna ask you a question and and

00:17:22 --> 00:17:25

then you and I appreciate this dialogue, too

00:17:25 --> 00:17:27

I definitely do brother.

00:17:27 --> 00:17:30

I appreciate the dialogue because if we don't

00:17:30 --> 00:17:33

talk and commune together Then we miss it

00:17:33 --> 00:17:36

anyway now, I appreciate this dialogue.

00:17:36 --> 00:17:37

This is the thing that I want to

00:17:37 --> 00:17:39

want to want to point out, right?

00:17:40 --> 00:17:45

If we first off right are walking Towards

00:17:45 --> 00:17:46

God, right?

00:17:46 --> 00:17:49

Then we have to trust him in this

00:17:49 --> 00:17:53

part of the message if if I'm wrong,

00:17:53 --> 00:17:53

right?

00:17:54 --> 00:17:58

If I'm wrong, and I'm earnestly seeking his

00:17:58 --> 00:18:01

face There is no way That a true

00:18:01 --> 00:18:05

and living God will continue to let me

00:18:05 --> 00:18:09

be wrong And if you're wrong and you're

00:18:09 --> 00:18:12

truly truly not again Not for like you

00:18:12 --> 00:18:15

said not the brainwashing that's been thrown out

00:18:15 --> 00:18:18

not the foolishness that's out here Not in

00:18:18 --> 00:18:22

that stuff, but earnestly from your heart from

00:18:22 --> 00:18:23

your heart place, right?

00:18:23 --> 00:18:26

From your heart place because when Moses wrote

00:18:26 --> 00:18:29

when roses wrote the scriptures right when he

00:18:29 --> 00:18:31

wrote the scriptures out, right?

00:18:32 --> 00:18:34

He wrote it after communing with God.

00:18:35 --> 00:18:39

So if you're honestly communing with God There's

00:18:39 --> 00:18:40

no way in the world.

00:18:40 --> 00:18:42

He's gonna leave you in darkness.

00:18:42 --> 00:18:44

There's no way in the world He's gonna

00:18:44 --> 00:18:47

leave me in darkness if we're not and

00:18:47 --> 00:18:48

this is what I'm gonna say, and then

00:18:48 --> 00:18:50

I'm gonna let you go ahead But if

00:18:50 --> 00:18:55

we're honestly With all we're we have if

00:18:55 --> 00:19:00

we're earnestly seeking after him We know I

00:19:00 --> 00:19:04

don't care if it's the Quran the Torah,

00:19:05 --> 00:19:07

you know, I don't care if it's a

00:19:07 --> 00:19:10

New Testament I don't care which one it

00:19:10 --> 00:19:11

is one thing.

00:19:11 --> 00:19:13

We know that in both of the Testaments

00:19:13 --> 00:19:16

That it says we will find him now

00:19:16 --> 00:19:18

the the key to that.

00:19:18 --> 00:19:21

There's a statement authentic statement my problem He

00:19:21 --> 00:19:23

said God is saying that this is the

00:19:23 --> 00:19:25

imagine it's the crater who's speaking He says

00:19:25 --> 00:19:27

all of my slaves because we're all slaves

00:19:27 --> 00:19:27

of God.

00:19:27 --> 00:19:30

Mm-hmm I'm misguided unless I mean the

00:19:30 --> 00:19:31

creator guides them.

00:19:31 --> 00:19:35

So ask me of my guidance Exactly what

00:19:35 --> 00:19:38

you said if a human beings praise directly

00:19:38 --> 00:19:40

not to Muhammad not to Moses not to

00:19:40 --> 00:19:42

even not to Jesus Nobody else but the

00:19:42 --> 00:19:45

creator of the heavens and earth alone, you

00:19:45 --> 00:19:48

know in Matthew 26 39 when Jesus went

00:19:48 --> 00:19:49

a little further It says and he fell

00:19:49 --> 00:19:52

on his face and prayed to God the

00:19:52 --> 00:19:54

Lord's prayer in there There's no mention of

00:19:54 --> 00:19:56

praying to Jesus is praying to all our

00:19:56 --> 00:19:58

father Rub up.

00:19:58 --> 00:20:00

This is the Lord of the universe if

00:20:00 --> 00:20:02

we pray directly to the one God that

00:20:02 --> 00:20:04

Jesus prayed to The way when he fell

00:20:04 --> 00:20:08

on his face the absolute monotheism not associating

00:20:08 --> 00:20:11

any partners of God God Almighty the creator

00:20:11 --> 00:20:14

Allah Ha Allah Elohim will the most loving

00:20:14 --> 00:20:16

the most compassionate the most merciful the most

00:20:16 --> 00:20:18

just those are his attributes and names Yeah,

00:20:18 --> 00:20:19

he will God a human being he will

00:20:19 --> 00:20:21

not leave you me in the dark But

00:20:21 --> 00:20:23

if we do shirk shirk is where we

00:20:23 --> 00:20:26

set up partners with God that now we

00:20:26 --> 00:20:30

start to pray to saints idols icons messengers

00:20:30 --> 00:20:34

the creation and we put intermediaries between us

00:20:34 --> 00:20:37

and God like God Almighty is the one

00:20:37 --> 00:20:41

that can give Forgive alone now.

00:20:41 --> 00:20:43

He is the one that we need to

00:20:43 --> 00:20:46

pray to alone Now now Jesus said all

00:20:46 --> 00:20:48

power is given to me So the prophets

00:20:48 --> 00:20:50

can go ahead and give you the formula

00:20:50 --> 00:20:51

what you need to do and you'll be

00:20:51 --> 00:20:53

forgiven for certain things but the key is

00:20:53 --> 00:20:56

to ask God Almighty alone for guidance and

00:20:57 --> 00:21:00

For repentance and that's how you get salvation

00:21:00 --> 00:21:02

But that's the tricky thing now the dangerous

00:21:02 --> 00:21:03

thing is when we set up rivals when

00:21:03 --> 00:21:05

we set up equals to God Let me

00:21:05 --> 00:21:06

ask you this question.

00:21:06 --> 00:21:08

Look go ahead when Jesus peace be upon

00:21:08 --> 00:21:10

him We love and revere if a Muslim

00:21:10 --> 00:21:14

says any disrespectful thing about Jesus he or

00:21:14 --> 00:21:15

she can end up in the hellfire I

00:21:15 --> 00:21:17

don't know if you knew that I Didn't

00:21:17 --> 00:21:18

know that.

00:21:18 --> 00:21:20

Yeah, you end up in hellfire disrespecting Jesus

00:21:20 --> 00:21:23

in any which way right denying him, right?

00:21:23 --> 00:21:25

We believe he was the Messiah the Immaculate

00:21:25 --> 00:21:29

Conception that he did miracles and wonders Miracle

00:21:29 --> 00:21:31

of God, right and we believe that he

00:21:31 --> 00:21:35

only called God people to worship one and

00:21:35 --> 00:21:37

only one God For example in the Bible

00:21:37 --> 00:21:40

hero Israel the Lord thy God is one

00:21:40 --> 00:21:42

when one came to him said Oh good

00:21:42 --> 00:21:44

master What good thing can I do that?

00:21:44 --> 00:21:45

I may have eternal life.

00:21:45 --> 00:21:46

So why are you calling me?

00:21:46 --> 00:21:46

Good?

00:21:46 --> 00:21:48

Look at that Look, I'm a martial artist,

00:21:48 --> 00:21:48

right?

00:21:48 --> 00:21:49

Yeah, I got a fighter.

00:21:49 --> 00:21:50

Someone comes in man.

00:21:50 --> 00:21:52

You're such a tough guy Look, you submitted

00:21:52 --> 00:21:53

all those guys in a row.

00:21:53 --> 00:21:54

I said man.

00:21:54 --> 00:21:54

I'm nothing man.

00:21:54 --> 00:21:55

Don't worry.

00:21:55 --> 00:21:55

You know what I mean?

00:21:55 --> 00:21:56

I'm gonna keep it humble.

00:21:56 --> 00:21:58

Yeah, I'd be arrogant, you know pointing to

00:21:58 --> 00:22:01

myself You see the Muslim fighter usually pointing

00:22:01 --> 00:22:02

up that means pointing to the one who

00:22:02 --> 00:22:04

gave me the strength and the power intelligence

00:22:04 --> 00:22:06

to get Things done, but now this is

00:22:06 --> 00:22:07

God.

00:22:07 --> 00:22:07

This is a creator.

00:22:08 --> 00:22:10

He should be now taking the credit.

00:22:10 --> 00:22:11

He should be saying yes This is how

00:22:11 --> 00:22:11

you worship me.

00:22:11 --> 00:22:13

He's saying why you call me good.

00:22:13 --> 00:22:15

There's only one good but God now here's

00:22:15 --> 00:22:18

my question is Jesus all-knowing because if

00:22:18 --> 00:22:19

Jesus is God he would have to know

00:22:19 --> 00:22:21

everything like God knows everything.

00:22:21 --> 00:22:23

So how did how would you?

00:22:24 --> 00:22:26

Respond if I respond to that, I would

00:22:26 --> 00:22:30

tell you Jesus Well, just like the other

00:22:30 --> 00:22:30

prophets.

00:22:30 --> 00:22:31

I'm gonna be honest.

00:22:31 --> 00:22:35

They got the word Directly but Jesus was

00:22:35 --> 00:22:37

there so him and the father were one

00:22:37 --> 00:22:40

So the other prophets the the Spirit of

00:22:40 --> 00:22:42

God rested upon them right now is the

00:22:42 --> 00:22:46

difference That rested upon David the Spirit of

00:22:46 --> 00:22:48

God rested upon you know, and on and

00:22:48 --> 00:22:51

on and on Ezekiel, you know all of

00:22:51 --> 00:22:53

those things So when we talk about it

00:22:53 --> 00:22:56

like that, we understand that the Spirit of

00:22:56 --> 00:23:00

God Rested upon but now as the Christian

00:23:00 --> 00:23:03

belief is that the Spirit of God dwells

00:23:05 --> 00:23:09

He encompassed he was you get what I'm

00:23:09 --> 00:23:09

saying?

00:23:10 --> 00:23:13

This is even before His death and resurrection

00:23:13 --> 00:23:16

make it easier like there's certain qualities that

00:23:16 --> 00:23:19

we would agree the creator have I'll define

00:23:19 --> 00:23:20

them that You agree.

00:23:20 --> 00:23:24

He's one He's absolute he's eternal Okay, he

00:23:24 --> 00:23:25

knows everything.

00:23:25 --> 00:23:28

He's that he doesn't increase in knowledge because

00:23:28 --> 00:23:28

he has all knowledge.

00:23:28 --> 00:23:31

He's not ignorant of any anything, right?

00:23:32 --> 00:23:35

Doesn't have a beginning or end doesn't die.

00:23:35 --> 00:23:37

These are qualities you would say All right

00:23:48 --> 00:23:51

Now let's apply that to you to me

00:23:51 --> 00:23:54

we wouldn't fit that description obviously, let's let's

00:23:54 --> 00:24:00

apply that to Abraham Right Prophet Muhammad peace

00:24:00 --> 00:24:01

be upon him.

00:24:01 --> 00:24:01

Also.

00:24:01 --> 00:24:03

He also he couldn't be God.

00:24:03 --> 00:24:06

He wasn't God Moses the Sun.

00:24:06 --> 00:24:08

Yeah, the moon all limitless, right?

00:24:08 --> 00:24:10

There was a beginning Jesus now.

00:24:10 --> 00:24:11

Peace be upon him Did he have a

00:24:11 --> 00:24:12

beginning?

00:24:13 --> 00:24:15

No, he had no beginning but did he

00:24:15 --> 00:24:16

come out of the womb of a woman

00:24:16 --> 00:24:20

he kept by way of God miraculous Conception

00:24:20 --> 00:24:22

that you talked about earlier.

00:24:22 --> 00:24:24

So you just said that you guys believe

00:24:24 --> 00:24:24

in that part.

00:24:25 --> 00:24:27

So in that part Yes, he came by

00:24:27 --> 00:24:32

way of a woman through The miraculous conception

00:24:32 --> 00:24:33

of the miracle of God did he die

00:24:33 --> 00:24:37

he died died He rose again as he

00:24:37 --> 00:24:40

had already proclaimed it He was so if

00:24:40 --> 00:24:42

he died then now if you have three

00:24:42 --> 00:24:45

gods for a moment, there's only two Because

00:24:45 --> 00:24:46

he died now.

00:24:47 --> 00:24:47

What do you have now?

00:24:47 --> 00:24:49

You have the Holy Ghost according to what

00:24:49 --> 00:24:52

he died on his flesh And then even

00:24:52 --> 00:24:55

like this we're gonna we'll say this the

00:24:55 --> 00:24:58

Muslims believe that there's a life after this

00:24:58 --> 00:25:02

life Yes, so the Christian believe it's a

00:25:02 --> 00:25:05

life after this life So if we die

00:25:05 --> 00:25:08

in this flesh, we still live for eternity.

00:25:08 --> 00:25:11

You tell my spit Yeah, so our spirit

00:25:11 --> 00:25:14

our spirit never dies, right?

00:25:14 --> 00:25:19

Our spirit doesn't die Fleshly man it dies.

00:25:19 --> 00:25:23

So can you can you conceive that Jesus

00:25:23 --> 00:25:24

was?

00:25:25 --> 00:25:31

100% right 100% Able to live

00:25:31 --> 00:25:32

right?

00:25:32 --> 00:25:36

Excuse my phone To to live by the

00:25:36 --> 00:25:40

power that he came in Now, I mean

00:25:40 --> 00:25:42

we don't have to agree on that because

00:25:42 --> 00:25:45

again what you just said, excuse me I

00:25:45 --> 00:25:48

like I said, I'm not trying to monopolize

00:25:48 --> 00:25:50

it We agree to this part that we

00:25:50 --> 00:25:53

are disagreeing on something So what we'll point

00:25:53 --> 00:25:55

out those things the disagreement like there's disagreement

00:25:55 --> 00:25:58

here We'll move on because I would like

00:25:58 --> 00:26:01

personally I would like to continue this dialogue

00:26:01 --> 00:26:04

Yeah, you are like you said you have

00:26:04 --> 00:26:07

Christian friends and everything and and and I

00:26:07 --> 00:26:09

would like to continue this this dialogue as

00:26:09 --> 00:26:13

we continue on To to get to know

00:26:13 --> 00:26:14

each other better.

00:26:14 --> 00:26:15

Yes.

00:26:15 --> 00:26:18

Yes, you know because Like you said for

00:26:18 --> 00:26:21

some reason you believe this is a divine

00:26:21 --> 00:26:23

purpose Guess what?

00:26:23 --> 00:26:24

I believe it too.

00:26:24 --> 00:26:25

Yes.

00:26:25 --> 00:26:25

Yes.

00:26:25 --> 00:26:27

I pulled up here didn't even know the

00:26:27 --> 00:26:31

church was Well the old building you guys

00:26:31 --> 00:26:34

call it a It's not called it must

00:26:34 --> 00:26:35

you'd must you'd must you and then we

00:26:35 --> 00:26:37

have an educational center.

00:26:37 --> 00:26:39

Okay, we have an educational center I didn't

00:26:39 --> 00:26:40

know it was a muster.

00:26:40 --> 00:26:42

I walked up and saw one of the

00:26:42 --> 00:26:45

brothers out there and I said, hey Is

00:26:45 --> 00:26:46

this a church now?

00:26:46 --> 00:26:49

He said no He explained to me that

00:26:49 --> 00:26:51

it was Muslim and I said well The

00:26:51 --> 00:26:52

only reason I asked because I was gonna

00:26:52 --> 00:26:54

come out and just sit out put some

00:26:54 --> 00:26:57

signs out Look, so let me get back

00:26:57 --> 00:26:59

to this point So if God is all

00:26:59 --> 00:27:02

-knowing and if Jesus is hundred percent God

00:27:02 --> 00:27:05

does he know everything at all times at

00:27:05 --> 00:27:05

all time?

00:27:05 --> 00:27:08

So now that's the million-dollar question now

00:27:08 --> 00:27:11

when he was asked was he at one

00:27:11 --> 00:27:13

point obviously doesn't lie It's not gonna lie.

00:27:13 --> 00:27:17

Okay, or he doesn't know Because being ignorant

00:27:17 --> 00:27:19

of something it's not to be offensive just

00:27:19 --> 00:27:21

you don't know Yeah, so he's not lying

00:27:21 --> 00:27:24

if or is he ignorant of something?

00:27:24 --> 00:27:26

Can he ever be put in that situation?

00:27:28 --> 00:27:30

What do you mean like like now when

00:27:30 --> 00:27:32

he says in his word where he tells

00:27:32 --> 00:27:37

them that I'm waiting on the father to

00:27:37 --> 00:27:41

tell me when I'm the return Here's an

00:27:41 --> 00:27:44

example When he was asked of that day

00:27:44 --> 00:27:47

and hour Meaning when is the day of

00:27:47 --> 00:27:48

judgment when?

00:27:50 --> 00:27:53

Now he's saying either now he's he's hiding

00:27:53 --> 00:27:53

it.

00:27:53 --> 00:27:54

He's lying.

00:27:54 --> 00:27:55

What this is you say?

00:27:55 --> 00:27:57

No, he cannot be lying This is disrespectful

00:27:57 --> 00:27:57

to him.

00:27:57 --> 00:27:59

He's not a god of liars, right?

00:27:59 --> 00:28:01

So I never want to I watch my

00:28:01 --> 00:28:03

words to every no and the other thing

00:28:03 --> 00:28:07

is now that he's saying perfect opportunity to

00:28:07 --> 00:28:11

go ahead and Give them the information instead

00:28:11 --> 00:28:13

of holding back, but he didn't know he

00:28:13 --> 00:28:14

said of that day and hour knows no

00:28:14 --> 00:28:17

man Not a son nobody, right?

00:28:17 --> 00:28:19

So that's the question there if he's God

00:28:19 --> 00:28:20

shouldn't he know?

00:28:21 --> 00:28:23

Well, this is now I want you to

00:28:23 --> 00:28:25

know I got you and that was a

00:28:25 --> 00:28:28

very very good question You know this verse

00:28:28 --> 00:28:28

right?

00:28:28 --> 00:28:28

Uh-huh.

00:28:29 --> 00:28:30

Yeah, that's what that's what I alluded to

00:28:30 --> 00:28:32

when I was talking to you So that's

00:28:32 --> 00:28:33

a very good question.

00:28:33 --> 00:28:34

Now.

00:28:34 --> 00:28:35

This is the thing that I want to

00:28:35 --> 00:28:39

point out though Is it that he didn't

00:28:39 --> 00:28:42

know or he just did not reveal it

00:28:42 --> 00:28:44

Is that one of the things that he

00:28:44 --> 00:28:46

just really didn't reveal now?

00:28:46 --> 00:28:48

That's a good question and it's something that

00:28:48 --> 00:28:51

I'm going to have to go back in

00:28:51 --> 00:28:54

and research a little more But that'll be

00:28:54 --> 00:28:56

something that me and you can talk about

00:28:56 --> 00:28:58

the neck Here's what I is it too

00:28:58 --> 00:29:01

hard to ask like we can never go

00:29:01 --> 00:29:03

ahead and pray to Jesus or Muhammad anybody

00:29:03 --> 00:29:06

Is it too much to ask to pray

00:29:06 --> 00:29:07

to God Almighty alone to say look at

00:29:07 --> 00:29:10

this man right here if he's on Two

00:29:10 --> 00:29:12

things if you sent it for me Yeah,

00:29:12 --> 00:29:14

if he's on the Christian it is too

00:29:14 --> 00:29:16

much because they won't because prayer.

00:29:17 --> 00:29:19

No, I got you Yes, it's get what

00:29:19 --> 00:29:20

I'm saying.

00:29:20 --> 00:29:23

I Could pray I could pray with you,

00:29:23 --> 00:29:23

right?

00:29:24 --> 00:29:25

I'm gonna give you an example.

00:29:25 --> 00:29:28

I could pray with you We pray right

00:29:28 --> 00:29:28

now.

00:29:28 --> 00:29:28

No, no.

00:29:28 --> 00:29:30

No, I'm saying when you go home.

00:29:30 --> 00:29:31

00:29:31 --> 00:29:34

I got you Understand yeah, cuz that's what

00:29:34 --> 00:29:34

I do.

00:29:35 --> 00:29:36

I Are you a pastor?

00:29:37 --> 00:29:39

No, no, I'm just a good brother man

00:29:39 --> 00:29:41

00:29:41 --> 00:29:41

own churches?

00:29:42 --> 00:29:44

No No, I'm just out here trying to

00:29:44 --> 00:29:46

like your your enthusiasm passion man.

00:29:46 --> 00:29:48

Hey cuz listen God is real Yeah, and

00:29:48 --> 00:29:49

I know it personally.

00:29:50 --> 00:29:52

I know he's so what would besides look

00:29:52 --> 00:29:54

how long have you when did you become

00:29:54 --> 00:29:58

a practicing Christian, what are you Protestant Baptist

00:29:58 --> 00:30:01

what well, I would be considered on the

00:30:01 --> 00:30:02

nomination on the nominational.

00:30:03 --> 00:30:04

How long how long ago did you come

00:30:04 --> 00:30:05

to this realization?

00:30:06 --> 00:30:10

Denominational I've been in that I wasn't I

00:30:10 --> 00:30:13

wasn't reared up in and let's say in

00:30:13 --> 00:30:16

traditional way I have my personal experience with

00:30:16 --> 00:30:17

God here.

00:30:17 --> 00:30:19

So when you when you hear me speak

00:30:19 --> 00:30:22

I'm speaking out of a personal conviction with

00:30:22 --> 00:30:24

God things that I've seen the evidence of

00:30:24 --> 00:30:27

God Even even people in a cult.

00:30:27 --> 00:30:29

Yeah, you know because you believe that the

00:30:29 --> 00:30:32

devil is real and I believe it's another

00:30:32 --> 00:30:35

That's a common belief The problem is that

00:30:35 --> 00:30:37

we don't a lot of times we don't

00:30:37 --> 00:30:39

get together and fight the real enemy We

00:30:39 --> 00:30:41

too busy trying to fight each other not

00:30:41 --> 00:30:44

me Yeah, you know because I already understand

00:30:44 --> 00:30:47

that the battle is not with flesh and

00:30:47 --> 00:30:51

blood I understand that and a lot of

00:30:51 --> 00:30:54

people don't I'm looking forward to our next

00:30:55 --> 00:30:55

Conversation.

00:30:55 --> 00:30:58

I got I got your literature I'm gonna

00:30:58 --> 00:31:00

sit down and I'm gonna read over this

00:31:00 --> 00:31:02

and I would definitely and give me a

00:31:02 --> 00:31:04

name again, brother Yes, Eddie, brother Eddie.

00:31:04 --> 00:31:04

Yeah.

00:31:05 --> 00:31:05

All right, brother.

00:31:05 --> 00:31:07

Eddie Darren is there nice to meet you

00:31:07 --> 00:31:10

nice meeting and I'm looking forward to our

00:31:10 --> 00:31:13

Next conversation and these are conversations that need

00:31:13 --> 00:31:15

to happen and for myself I don't really

00:31:15 --> 00:31:17

like to get into heated debates or anything

00:31:17 --> 00:31:19

I like to what I like to do

00:31:19 --> 00:31:20

is because that's what a lot of times

00:31:20 --> 00:31:22

happens and then one side is more about

00:31:22 --> 00:31:24

the Ego kicks in yeah, and there's like

00:31:24 --> 00:31:26

then the truth gets lost So I ask

00:31:26 --> 00:31:28

people just really reflect upon it if there's

00:31:28 --> 00:31:30

if there's truth coming from one side.

00:31:30 --> 00:31:31

There's something well I'm gonna take it but

00:31:31 --> 00:31:34

it's about who's the one that can guide

00:31:34 --> 00:31:34

us.

00:31:34 --> 00:31:35

It's the one who created us So I

00:31:35 --> 00:31:37

usually leave people with this Homer.

00:31:37 --> 00:31:39

It's just so simple it's in the Lord's

00:31:39 --> 00:31:41

Prayer my Christian friends and neighbors is to

00:31:41 --> 00:31:43

like if there's any truth here because we

00:31:43 --> 00:31:44

believe that like we were Saying God will

00:31:44 --> 00:31:46

guide us to truth and our innate nature

00:31:46 --> 00:31:48

recognizes the belief in the one and only

00:31:48 --> 00:31:51

one God This is just very straightforward, it's

00:31:51 --> 00:31:54

like one plus one is two very Self

00:31:54 --> 00:31:56

-explanatory as part of part of what God

00:31:56 --> 00:31:58

created us to recognize that truth a lot

00:31:58 --> 00:32:01

of times, you know are invested interests and

00:32:01 --> 00:32:05

our ego and and emotions We get we

00:32:05 --> 00:32:08

get attached to something in his own, but

00:32:08 --> 00:32:10

then this is the way God Comes and

00:32:10 --> 00:32:14

sends the advice and reminds us the reminders

00:32:14 --> 00:32:17

and now the person has to think Hold

00:32:17 --> 00:32:18

on is there is this something guys talking

00:32:18 --> 00:32:18

about?

00:32:19 --> 00:32:21

UFOs is this guy talking to me about

00:32:21 --> 00:32:23

some strange, you know Like today like they're

00:32:23 --> 00:32:24

trying to make the man at the moment

00:32:24 --> 00:32:27

the man like that You're a wolf or

00:32:27 --> 00:32:28

and I'm trying to convince you that you're

00:32:28 --> 00:32:30

you know an animal or whatnot That's come

00:32:30 --> 00:32:32

on I got time for that stuff But

00:32:32 --> 00:32:34

this is simple Praying to God alone saying

00:32:34 --> 00:32:37

God the one who Jesus prayed to guide

00:32:37 --> 00:32:39

me if this is any truth here guide

00:32:39 --> 00:32:40

me to it Yes, I don't think that's

00:32:40 --> 00:32:41

unreasonable at all.

00:32:41 --> 00:32:44

Well again, yeah, that's what we beg to

00:32:44 --> 00:32:47

do but Listen, I'm brother Eddie.

00:32:48 --> 00:32:49

I'm not over here.

00:32:49 --> 00:32:50

Just Talking.

00:32:51 --> 00:32:52

Yeah, and I'm not over here.

00:32:52 --> 00:32:53

Just saying anything.

00:32:53 --> 00:32:56

I would like now I don't know how

00:32:56 --> 00:32:59

often you have time, but I would like

00:32:59 --> 00:33:03

for us to continue Sit down and just

00:33:03 --> 00:33:05

kind of discuss some things.

00:33:05 --> 00:33:07

Yeah, very interesting to know you like you

00:33:07 --> 00:33:10

say you're a martial artist Interested in knowing

00:33:10 --> 00:33:12

a little more about that you learn a

00:33:12 --> 00:33:15

little more about me and we continue this

00:33:15 --> 00:33:18

dialogue Because I had already told the brother

00:33:18 --> 00:33:20

I was planning on coming to one of

00:33:20 --> 00:33:22

the press sessions Yeah, and when I asked

00:33:22 --> 00:33:23

him right off the bat.

00:33:23 --> 00:33:24

Yeah.

00:33:24 --> 00:33:26

Oh, yeah, I'm coming Yeah, once he told

00:33:26 --> 00:33:28

me the times and everything I'm gonna be

00:33:28 --> 00:33:31

there because he did he did he did

00:33:31 --> 00:33:35

express that you guys don't Pray and aromatic

00:33:35 --> 00:33:37

and you but you pray in English.

00:33:37 --> 00:33:39

Yeah, you translate in Arabic But yeah, but

00:33:39 --> 00:33:41

he so he told me that I said

00:33:41 --> 00:33:42

well, you know That's good.

00:33:42 --> 00:33:44

And I could you know Arabs only make

00:33:44 --> 00:33:46

up a small percentage of the overall Muslim

00:33:46 --> 00:33:50

community Let me just before we conclude This

00:33:50 --> 00:33:50

is important.

00:33:51 --> 00:33:53

Islam is an Arabic word Which means like

00:33:53 --> 00:33:56

I said opened earlier to acquire peace by

00:33:56 --> 00:33:57

submitting your will to the will of God

00:33:57 --> 00:33:59

It's not a Muslim is one who does

00:33:59 --> 00:34:01

the action of Islam a Muslim is a

00:34:01 --> 00:34:05

submitter to God In the same way understanding

00:34:05 --> 00:34:08

that is that's what the Christian does but

00:34:08 --> 00:34:12

the only difference between the Understanding of that

00:34:12 --> 00:34:15

is that the Christian understands that is through

00:34:15 --> 00:34:18

the power of the Holy Spirit Which afforded

00:34:18 --> 00:34:21

for us to do that and so by

00:34:21 --> 00:34:25

the Holy Spirit We are comforted even David

00:34:25 --> 00:34:30

wrote in his his His his writings even

00:34:30 --> 00:34:33

about the Messiah so he even wrote so,

00:34:33 --> 00:34:34

you know Who am I to one of

00:34:34 --> 00:34:37

my two out of many who I really?

00:34:38 --> 00:34:41

Admire so much and if you look at

00:34:41 --> 00:34:44

the way they stood on certain ground and

00:34:44 --> 00:34:48

principles you have Muhammad Ali Who's Malcolm and

00:34:48 --> 00:34:48

Malcolm X?

00:34:48 --> 00:34:51

So they also at one point in time

00:34:51 --> 00:34:53

they went back to their roots and they

00:34:53 --> 00:34:54

started to invest they came both from a

00:34:54 --> 00:34:57

Christian Background and now they went to their

00:34:57 --> 00:34:59

roots and they saw that there was roots

00:34:59 --> 00:35:00

Connected them.

00:35:00 --> 00:35:02

If you look at Quinta Kinte, right?

00:35:02 --> 00:35:03

We watched the film.

00:35:03 --> 00:35:05

He's saying Allah Allah, right?

00:35:06 --> 00:35:08

Yeah, it's a lot of Muslims in Africa

00:35:08 --> 00:35:10

But it's also I like to point out

00:35:10 --> 00:35:11

because I know a little history on this

00:35:11 --> 00:35:14

one There's also a lot of Christians in

00:35:14 --> 00:35:15

a yes And it wasn't and I want

00:35:15 --> 00:35:18

to point this out so that everybody can

00:35:18 --> 00:35:20

understand and you can research this it wasn't

00:35:20 --> 00:35:26

because Africans or those individuals because you know,

00:35:27 --> 00:35:31

Muslims and all that everybody come By regions,

00:35:31 --> 00:35:33

you know what I'm saying tribes, but it

00:35:33 --> 00:35:38

wasn't that only The way that Africans met

00:35:38 --> 00:35:40

God was through some missionary.

00:35:40 --> 00:35:44

They already knew God like you said based

00:35:44 --> 00:35:49

based on other some more poly Polytheistic and

00:35:49 --> 00:35:52

monotheistic I'm gonna leave you something else to

00:35:52 --> 00:35:55

think about before Jesus Who were the people

00:35:55 --> 00:35:57

before him praying to you see this is

00:35:57 --> 00:35:59

if you look at if you think about

00:35:59 --> 00:36:01

that if you look just Right before Jesus

00:36:01 --> 00:36:03

came they were praying to someone they're praying

00:36:03 --> 00:36:03

to God.

00:36:03 --> 00:36:05

That's been the same message, right?

00:36:05 --> 00:36:07

They weren't praying to Jesus or anyone they

00:36:07 --> 00:36:08

were praying to the creator of the heavens

00:36:08 --> 00:36:11

and earth and who died for those people's

00:36:11 --> 00:36:13

sins Right, they were upon repenting to God

00:36:13 --> 00:36:14

Almighty alone.

00:36:14 --> 00:36:16

That's the people the true believers.

00:36:16 --> 00:36:17

We believe they were Muslim That's why we

00:36:17 --> 00:36:18

say Jesus was a Muslim.

00:36:19 --> 00:36:20

He submitted to the rule of God Moses

00:36:20 --> 00:36:21

was a Muslim He submitted to the guy

00:36:21 --> 00:36:24

and they did Islam that word wasn't there

00:36:24 --> 00:36:26

But the concept was always their submission to

00:36:26 --> 00:36:31

the will of God That that's where we

00:36:31 --> 00:36:33

can make sense of all the religions that's

00:36:33 --> 00:36:35

how you can make sense of everything because

00:36:35 --> 00:36:38

now Christianity named after Christ Christos you cut

00:36:38 --> 00:36:40

off the stoves you have Christ, right?

00:36:40 --> 00:36:44

Judaism after the tribe of drug down Hinduism

00:36:44 --> 00:36:46

a geographical location Islam is from the first

00:36:46 --> 00:36:49

man Adam He was told submit your will

00:36:49 --> 00:36:49

to the will of God.

00:36:50 --> 00:36:51

He was a Muslim He was upon Islam

00:36:51 --> 00:36:53

all the way through to the last and

00:36:53 --> 00:36:55

final message from Muhammad peace and blessings be

00:36:55 --> 00:36:56

upon So that's it.

00:36:56 --> 00:36:58

We're talking about two sons, you know, and

00:36:58 --> 00:37:01

so at the end of the day I

00:37:01 --> 00:37:04

agree and then just one more thing disagree

00:37:04 --> 00:37:05

And if you look at it because it's

00:37:05 --> 00:37:07

based on the Quran tells us produce your

00:37:07 --> 00:37:09

proof of your truthful Mm-hmm.

00:37:09 --> 00:37:12

I would I would I would Really try

00:37:12 --> 00:37:15

to have you, you know contemplate thinking just

00:37:15 --> 00:37:18

open up and read the translations of Quran

00:37:18 --> 00:37:19

Oh, yeah as a potential book from God.

00:37:20 --> 00:37:21

Oh, yeah, we say this is the verbatim

00:37:21 --> 00:37:22

words of God Almighty.

00:37:22 --> 00:37:26

I have no problem Yeah studying and I

00:37:26 --> 00:37:28

like you said I have no problem because

00:37:28 --> 00:37:30

then I can relate to you.

00:37:30 --> 00:37:33

There you go At the end of the

00:37:33 --> 00:37:36

day, you'll be able to relate to me

00:37:36 --> 00:37:39

when I come back And share some things

00:37:39 --> 00:37:42

I've been a student of comparative religion right

00:37:42 --> 00:37:44

through the Bible right through most of the

00:37:44 --> 00:37:46

religious texts out there and what differentiated again

00:37:46 --> 00:37:49

Islam from everything else was if authenticity of

00:37:49 --> 00:37:52

the Quran as it was revealed We have

00:37:52 --> 00:37:53

someone right here.

00:37:53 --> 00:37:54

He's memorized the entire Quran.

00:37:54 --> 00:37:56

Mm-hmm the entire Quran We have millions

00:37:56 --> 00:37:58

of people living today have memorized the entire

00:37:58 --> 00:37:58

book.

00:37:58 --> 00:38:01

That's how it's been preserved Then you have

00:38:01 --> 00:38:03

certain signs and miracles that there's no way

00:38:03 --> 00:38:05

Man living in the desert could have done

00:38:05 --> 00:38:07

these things and we and and and they're

00:38:07 --> 00:38:09

they're not miracles that were just for that

00:38:09 --> 00:38:11

time They were witnessed by people but the

00:38:11 --> 00:38:12

living miracle we have is the Quran.

00:38:13 --> 00:38:14

Yeah, and I guess another topic but to

00:38:14 --> 00:38:17

go I got all the things it's historical

00:38:17 --> 00:38:23

and even like even Roman Historians wrote about

00:38:23 --> 00:38:26

Jesus and the effect of the Christian movement

00:38:26 --> 00:38:29

in Rome and all that so yeah, we

00:38:29 --> 00:38:31

know all of those things is this but

00:38:31 --> 00:38:37

But I Listen I definitely and if you

00:38:37 --> 00:38:40

don't mind, can we Close in prayer.

00:38:40 --> 00:38:43

I'll let you pray first and then I'll

00:38:43 --> 00:38:44

pray or I could pray first and you

00:38:44 --> 00:38:46

pray And look at look at the opening

00:38:46 --> 00:38:47

chapter of the Quran.

00:38:47 --> 00:39:02

It says alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen Alameen

00:39:02 --> 00:39:22

Al Rahman Al Raheem Alameen

00:39:22 --> 00:39:33

Alameen Alameen Alameen Alameen Alameen Alameen Alameen

00:39:44 --> 00:39:45

I'll translate.

00:39:46 --> 00:39:48

This is how it's been preserved that we

00:39:48 --> 00:39:52

have me as a European American we have

00:39:52 --> 00:39:53

white black Asian.

00:39:54 --> 00:39:56

Everyone is memorizing his books all praises to

00:39:56 --> 00:40:00

Allah Lord of the Worlds the Most gracious,

00:40:00 --> 00:40:02

the most merciful, owner of the day of

00:40:02 --> 00:40:02

judgment.

00:40:02 --> 00:40:05

You alone we worship, you alone we seek

00:40:05 --> 00:40:05

for help.

00:40:05 --> 00:40:07

Guide us on the straight path, the path

00:40:07 --> 00:40:10

of those who you have favored, not those

00:40:10 --> 00:40:11

who have gone astray.

00:40:12 --> 00:40:14

Now, if we're gonna pray, or if we

00:40:14 --> 00:40:17

look at the Lord's prayer, if we're gonna

00:40:17 --> 00:40:19

pray directly to God and say, God Almighty,

00:40:19 --> 00:40:21

guide us, we're in need of your guidance,

00:40:21 --> 00:40:23

praying to God Almighty, the same God of

00:40:23 --> 00:40:24

Jesus, that's prayer.

00:40:24 --> 00:40:26

But we can never pray in the name

00:40:26 --> 00:40:28

of Muhammad, in the name of Jesus.

00:40:28 --> 00:40:29

That's what's called shirk.

00:40:29 --> 00:40:32

And we can end up, as Muslims, we

00:40:32 --> 00:40:33

can end up, or anybody who does that

00:40:33 --> 00:40:34

can end up in the hellfire.

00:40:34 --> 00:40:35

That's the thing that we have to stay

00:40:35 --> 00:40:36

away from.

00:40:36 --> 00:40:37

I got you.

00:40:37 --> 00:40:39

So I understand what you're saying.

00:40:39 --> 00:40:41

And I'm not here to oppose my will

00:40:41 --> 00:40:42

against yours.

00:40:43 --> 00:40:46

And I appreciate, listen, I appreciate it dearly

00:40:46 --> 00:40:48

that you explained it to me like that.

00:40:48 --> 00:40:50

Like someone can, let me just one more

00:40:50 --> 00:40:50

thing, sorry.

00:40:51 --> 00:40:53

Like I respect a Christian tells me out

00:40:53 --> 00:40:54

of his love that if you don't believe

00:40:54 --> 00:40:56

Jesus is your Lord and Savior, you're gonna

00:40:56 --> 00:40:56

go to hellfire.

00:40:56 --> 00:40:58

Hey, that's your belief, okay.

00:40:58 --> 00:41:00

But we believe at the same time, those

00:41:00 --> 00:41:02

who deny Prophet Muhammad after they hear about

00:41:02 --> 00:41:05

him and that they worship others besides God,

00:41:05 --> 00:41:08

that if they worship Muhammad, if they worship

00:41:08 --> 00:41:10

Moses, Jesus, or anybody, they can end up

00:41:10 --> 00:41:11

in the hellfire.

00:41:11 --> 00:41:13

So what I'm gonna ask for you to

00:41:13 --> 00:41:16

do is when you pray to God to

00:41:16 --> 00:41:20

pray, and we're gonna keep praying for clarity.

00:41:20 --> 00:41:22

And when I pray to God- To

00:41:22 --> 00:41:23

God, to the God of Jesus.

00:41:23 --> 00:41:26

I'm gonna pray to the God in the

00:41:26 --> 00:41:26

name of Jesus.

00:41:27 --> 00:41:29

And I'm gonna pray for, listen, I'm gonna

00:41:29 --> 00:41:29

pray for clarity.

00:41:30 --> 00:41:30

See, we agree.

00:41:30 --> 00:41:32

Can you just take a- Listen, listen

00:41:32 --> 00:41:32

to what I'm saying.

00:41:34 --> 00:41:36

I know you're a good fighter too.

00:41:37 --> 00:41:41

I'm telling you, Eddie, I really enjoy this

00:41:41 --> 00:41:41

dialogue.

00:41:42 --> 00:41:45

We're not angry, we're not mad.

00:41:46 --> 00:41:48

We know that there's a common- And

00:41:48 --> 00:41:50

I'm coming from, just like I'm coming from

00:41:50 --> 00:41:51

a place of care.

00:41:51 --> 00:41:52

You really are.

00:41:52 --> 00:41:57

I feel your care, and I feel your

00:41:57 --> 00:42:00

care, and I pray that you feel mine.

00:42:00 --> 00:42:02

I'm not coming from any other thing.

00:42:03 --> 00:42:05

I'm not trying to boast myself.

00:42:05 --> 00:42:07

I'm not trying to boast anything.

00:42:07 --> 00:42:10

I'm out here just trying to encourage people

00:42:10 --> 00:42:16

in a dying world, absent of, you get

00:42:16 --> 00:42:18

what I'm saying, of the king.

00:42:19 --> 00:42:21

And I just wanna make sure that everybody

00:42:21 --> 00:42:27

knows that there's some hope, there's some peace

00:42:27 --> 00:42:29

that you're not tapping into.

00:42:29 --> 00:42:33

There's some love that is not being tapped

00:42:33 --> 00:42:37

into or received just because you don't know.

00:42:38 --> 00:42:41

But I, Eddie, I really do feel your

00:42:41 --> 00:42:42

concern and care.

00:42:42 --> 00:42:45

You didn't come in here trying to, you

00:42:45 --> 00:42:49

know, we're not doing none of that, brother.

00:42:49 --> 00:42:51

And I appreciate that.

00:42:51 --> 00:42:54

And that's the reason why I wanna continue

00:42:54 --> 00:42:55

this dialogue.

00:42:55 --> 00:42:55

Let's do it, yes.

00:42:55 --> 00:42:56

Most definitely.

00:42:56 --> 00:42:57

God bless you, God bless you.

00:42:57 --> 00:42:58

God bless you too, brother.

00:42:58 --> 00:42:59

God bless you, Eddie.

00:43:00 --> 00:43:01

God bless you, man.

00:43:01 --> 00:43:03

I cannot leave without giving you a gift.

00:43:03 --> 00:43:04

If you're not yet Muslim and you're tuning

00:43:04 --> 00:43:06

in to see what these Muslims are talking

00:43:06 --> 00:43:08

about and you'd like a free copy of

00:43:08 --> 00:43:11

the Quran, go and visit thedeenshow.com.

00:43:11 --> 00:43:13

We'll take care of the posters and everything

00:43:13 --> 00:43:14

and get it delivered to you.

00:43:14 --> 00:43:16

00:43:16 --> 00:43:21

Islam, call us at 1-800-662-4752.

Until then, peace be with you.

00:43:23 --> 00:43:23
